Prohibition In Politics.

Tie result at the vote on prohibition
in Texas is in the nature of surprise.
An overwhelming majority for OF against
the new crusade was never claimed by
either side.
In Kentucky the Prohibition can
lilate received, comparatively speaking
no vote at ALL Yet, under the local
option law in both Texas and Kentucky,
large number of counties have and en-.
force law prohibiting the sale ofliquors.
1t seems that in both States it is the
Judgment of large number of temper
ance advocates that this liquor question
is local and not State or National is
sue.
All that has been accomplished for
temperance has been done under local
regulation or restriction. When this
plan is abandoned and q larger field is
chosen for a trial, straightway there is
revolt, even among temperance men
When this is not the case there is in
many INb bCHtlIllcH
to sustain the law, and its violation il
frequent and open.
Tennessee will shortly vote on loca
option amendment, though Tennessee
has an excellent statute under which il
has been possible to restrict the growtl
of the liquor traffic, The law forbid
any one to open saloon within fou
miles of an educational institution out
side of incorporated towns. As resul
in many localities temperance advocates
do much for the cause of education il

Samantha at Saratoga"

One of the most prominent personages
of the literary world just now Is Miss
Marietta Holley. popular known as SAM
antha Allen, or Josiah Aliens wife. She
became favorite very early in her
literary career, and each new issue from
her pen has added tn her fame, until, for
her latest work, Samantha at Saratoga"
Messrs. Hubbard Brothers, paid her
princely sum, and the book is decidedly
a hit. 1t will doubtless outsell all her
previous issues, as it unquestionably out.
shines them all in the fascinating vein
of humor in which Miss IIolley Is 70
happy and so rich.
Preparing for this work, Miss IIolley
went to Saratoga and spent an entire
season, with eyes and ears open, and
with brain and pencil vigorously at work
She went in her famous assumed role of
Josiah Aliens wife, her Imaginary Josiah
at her side, with his characteristic
blunders, faux pas, and quick, boy like
enthusiasm. As Samantha Allen, Miss
Holley isobservant, unsophisticated, out
spoken, an sound to the core on every
question of propriety. Such a couple in
the whirl of Saratoga would certainly
develope many remarkable situations
and utter many funny comments. 1t is
here the humor ofthe book arises Plain,
back-country, village life, and gay artifcl-
al Saratoga life are so wide apart, that
each side becomes ludicrous to the other
These ludicrous, laugh.provoking con.
trasts are the dominant features of Miss
Holley's book.
To these matchmaking presentations
of the author the artists pencil has ad
ded rich entertainment. Over ahund
red drawings have been made especially
to illustrate the text by Frederick Opper
the leading artist of Puck. Burt Wilder
too, has done a share in embellisliin,
this attractive book. These artists max,

text and the talk of the pictures tn,

looks again. Although, the book is {

The Record Again Broken.

Shepard 4 " inston have again broken
the record of tracklaying. The rapidity
with which they have been pushing the
construction of the Manitoba extension
west ofNinot has attracted the attention
of railroad men all over t he country. On
Saturday, July Ii, ~ miles of track were
laid, working only from one end, and
thus ecipscd all former records, beating
the Canadian Pacific record Of 63S miles
which up to that time was the hest. On
Thursday, Aug. IL, the record was again
broken, and S.ll miles of track were laid
from one end. The work was done in
the Milk River valley, between Fort
Buford and Fort Beiknap, and the track
LAYERS say another mile would have been
laid but one of the iron cars broke
down, necessitating DELAY. The coun-
try there is very favorable to rapid con-
struction, and even this phenomenal re-
cord may vet be ec.ipsed,-Pionecr-prcss
